Report: Kwon Alexander's agent comes to Tampa to work on long-term extension

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers already handed out one long-term extension this offseason, but they still have a handful of young players they’d like to lock up for the foreseeable future.

One such player is linebacker Kwon Alexander, who has quickly become a key building block for the Tampa Bay defense.

Drew Rosenhaus, Alexander’s agent, was in Tampa this week to work with the Bucs on an extension for his client, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport:

The #Bucs still have some long-term deals they’d like to get done, including G Ali Marpet, LB Kwon Alexander and LT Donovan Smith. To that end, agent Drew Rosenhaus was at the TB facility yesterday working on Alexander’s potential extension. Not imminent, but they are working.

A fourth-round pick in the 2015 NFL draft out of LSU, Alexander has been a vocal leader and one of the Bucs’ most productive players since entering the league. Despite already having three NFL seasons under his belt, Alexander just turned 24 years old last month.

The team has been hit-or-miss with their draft picks in recent years, which makes it all the more important for them to lock up the ones that have proven themselves worthy.
